Canary Blue Cyclyrius webbianus

La Palma - April 2001
The Canary Blue is endemic to the Canary Islands, where it is locally common. I found many colonies on the island of La Palma. However, during the heat of the day, which is when I always saw it, it is unbelievably restless and at several colonies I never saw an individual actually stop. These pictures are of a rather tatty male which did play the game, albeit briefly.
